Research in AAC

The Department of Communication Disorders has an expansive research program directed toward improving clinical practice and enhancing outcomes for individuals who use AAC. Faculty, students, and individuals who use AAC work together to carry out meaningful research projects and disseminate useful information.

Penn State is a partner in the AAC-RERC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication – Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center). The AAC-RERC is a partnership dedicated to assisting individuals who use AAC by advancing and promoting AAC technologies and supporting the individuals that use, manufacture, and recommend them. The AAC-RERC is funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR, Grant #H133E980026).
